My bus had two crews on it. The bus driver dropped my crew off at a
grocery store while she took the other crew to McDonalds for lunch. My
guys were able to buy all the junk they wanted at a reasonable price for
the long train ride home to the Chicago area. Bus drivers have generally
been very supportive in stopping.
